Based troll!
the reason i know this is fake: that didn’t happen and people don’t generally start new jobs on tuesday.
Starting day is whatever the first working day of the month is.
wut. really? is that an american thing?
What’s the other option?
starting on monday?
Idk that may work for retail, or corporate if you’re unemployed. Otherwise I’d suspect something is off with the company/job if they’re asking me to stay in Monday. Even if you’re not giving a two week notice, it’s usually easier for everyone to set a date, and the 1st day or the 15th works better for payroll.
I started my current job on the 13th… Of September in fact, It’ll be 4 years…
Sounds like the employee dodged a bullet there.
Wood chippers for all the bosses.
Would have, if it were real. Hiring people is a bitch. You don’t ditch people because they’re not psychic psychos.
Yeah. HR would have thrown him out with the new hire if they actually did this
That’s assuming there is an HR and he is not one of those insane startup tech/fin-tech/app CEO bros. Still rage bait but there is enough truth to be rage bait.
He should’ve spat on his hand before giving the asshole capitalist CEO yas boss boy the handshake
why is this censored
Why censore the account name? They put it out publicly to be shared.
Many places where content is posted would remove this because it contains “personal information” regardless of it being shared publicly or not.
To avoid dogpiling and harassment.
A publicly made comment, like tgat one, if not paradoy, should be harrased
But what if tehy sue?
Sue for what? Public backlash???
a meal?! a succulent chinese meal?!
They never said it shouldn’t happen, they were providing a potential explanation.
Seems like something they need in their lives. They need to learn perspective.
They also need to stop lying on the internet about things that definitely didn’t happen.
For $20-30/hr? Unless it’s a 6 figures never expect this effort from anything.
The effort of wildly guessing that the specific agreement as it is done in writing and it is crucial that everyone upholds their agreements, was in fact just a random test by a lunatic?
Where is this leading: "Yeah boss, so you said the electrical wiring needs to withstand 16A at 230 V, but i thought this was just a test of yours to see our cost cutting entrepreneurship and i installed wiring for 12 V and safed the cost on the circuit breaker. Anyways we need three firetrucks, two ambulances and a hearse.
Figures don’t matter. If your pay comes with a check stub, you do your job, and then go home.
Normie think that getting paid more makes it any less of wage slavery 🤣
6 figures is a salaried position. You aren’t even getting paid hourly, and likely not clocking in or out, at that point. You aren’t the person getting send home by this rando middle-manager - more likely his boss.
Bull shit. Former middle manager made six figures
Layed off 4 times in 8 years. Mountains if medical debt. And at my age, no tech company will touch me.
Do not think that you know anything about everything. There are places where six figures is BARLY lower middle-class And moving? That’s way to expensive nowadays.
Be carefulnwiyh broad brushes. You get splashed.
Your take about being stuck in such a place is the bullshit. “Moving expenses" is your excuse? Too good to rent and load your own UHaul isn’t poor. Try talking to someone who hasn’t already escaped, if you must have a sympathetic ear for your persecution complex. Your equally privileged neighbors, for example. The internet is not generally so deluded.
Seriously, when is the last time you went fishing? Camping? Skiing? To the Beach? If you’re living like you’re to poor to afford any of these, its not the fault of your location or 6-figure income. If you’re too good to ride Greyhound, or you drive your own car in a city with decent public transit, you’re not poor, nor even lower middle-class, you’re just a snob.
I fucking garuntee I saw more hell beforehand ten than you’ve seen in your life.
And as far as camping. You good and fucking garuntee you that the time I spent homeless living in the wood was made easier by the years spent as a kid helping to do exactly that. Forage and fish to actually have dinner.
Oh and let’s not forget bagging coal as kid just to bring in a few bucks.
And none if that matters. What matters Is your judgemental and undernformed ass thinks way too much of your own entertainment value, your pampered jerk
This doesn’t change what I said above though…
W2 wage slavery, they cant get rid of your as easily since the market is less liquid.
Salaried employement is literally a different category than wages. At the level of 6-figures, you’re more “company representative” or “asset” than employee.
Spotted a kool-aid drinker
I am sure people getting laid off for no reason feel like an “asset”
6-figure salary workers generally get severance pay, even at companies that otherwise don’t offer that. They generally can’t unionize - THAT’S how en-meshed they are with their companies’ interests.
You either have no idea how far removed the people you are talking about are removed from a wage-slave like yourself, or no idea how far you yourself are removed from wage-slavery.
These people are well into the top 15% of earners. Outside of the biggest cities, they run hospitals, school districts, multiple floors of office buildings. They are the ones getting special tax credits for their 2nd homes. They are landlords and/or small business owners(like myself). People with an exit plan, not just for their job, but for their state, for their country - plans they can impliment at the drop of a hat with minimal impact to their savings or retirement plans. They and their friends buy up neighborhoods together; They are the bourgeoisie. Near-aristocrats and merchant class that see themselves as poor.
The only kool-aid drinker here is you.
I would have reverse-fired my future ex-boss. ‘Monday? That was my day off after working 80 hours this week-end (I spent this day off doing research obviously). I was there on Sunday at 3:00 AM and couldn’t see you so I took the liberty of making you redundant’

“I wanted my employee to do something I didn’t ask for so I fired them when they did exactly what I asked.”
This is a troll
Feels to me like the lunatic’s fantasy. Like, the guy really wishes he could do it, but realizes he doesn’t have the power to actually go through with it. So he makes up these fantasies to make himself feel better and to try and garner some clout with his fellow lunatics.
Maybe. But it is satire by holding a mirror on power tripping, clout chasing LinkedIn influencers. That’s like accusing the South Park creators of secretly wanting to swim in piss in a piss park, or secretly wanting to get into orgy with Satan, Saddam, Trump and Laura Loomer.
Yeah, this really seems like it’s satire. If someone hadn’t blurred out the name, we would… Hold on.
A quick Google search yielded results.
Could still be satire
It sounds a lot like Ken Cheng
This is yes, but also 100% possible.
it doesn’t matter if it’s real, it only matters if it confirms my biases
I hired a new employee to start on Tuesday
He came in on Monday
I fired him on the spot
Can’t follow simple fucking instructions
I hired a guy to start on Monday. He showed up at 8:45.
No Bueno buster, you were expected at exactly midnight because that’s when fuckin Monday starts.
My employee came for his pay check. I fired him on the spot. I don’t respect people who only work for money.
My employee kept trying to take time off to attend his brothers wedding. Mom and I were distraught for months. We were his family now, and our only work son would betray us like this?
Gotta love the fake power trip stories on LinkedIn. Cringe fest.
Exactly. I’m not a lawyer but I struggle to find the legality of firing someone for showing up early for work. What nonsense.
Depending on where this person is, as long as they weren’t fired for something like their race, or religion, it is legal.
No, this was firing for not showing up on a non working day
No, this was firing someone for not showing up before the day they were told to start.
No this is what he DID. What you said is what he DIDN’T do. If a judge asked what did the employee do. He would have to confess that the guy showed up early for work. He didn’t actively DO anything to get fired.That’s my point.
I think that in a lot of the US, firing people because you enjoy it is fine. It’s probably a hobby for some people over there.
Generally yes. There are some financial remedies possible in this sort of case if the employee did anything reasonable for the new job. Like, if they quit an old job they wouldn’t otherwise have or moved, they would have a potential case, since there was no actual reason they were immediately fired. If they didn’t already have a job and didn’t move, they’d probably be SOL unless they live in like California.
I hope this is Ken Chang or what’s his name.
Ken M is who you’re referring to I believe.
No there’s a specific satire account on Linked in.
GOOD point
We’re all Ken Chang on this blessed day
I love how far he leans into the satire.
Here’s the problem: my posts are not satire. Groundbreaking philosophy can sometimes feel like satire because it is so avant-garde and interesting.
What’s next? I have to sit at the back of the bus because those are the “Satire Seats”? My children have to go to the specific “Satire School”? This is segregation at its finest.
Considering the name is censored, doubt it
It’s not Ken anything. It’s some British guy named Jack Frimston.
I think it’s up to you to decide whether or not this is supposed to be satirical. I’m on the side of thinking it’s not.
How he got his car keyed and his tires slashed
Well, I mean, it’s kind of obvious that this post is outrage bait, so you know, good on that 'cause I’m outraged, but if an employer actually did this to me, I would need somebody to talk me down before I came back with a gun.
